Out in the World

“Motherhood is an endless cycle of letting go, a constant reconfiguring of rules and boundaries. You have to be flexible, quick to shift and shed. These are things I struggle with in regular life, and as a mother, even more.”

One of my recent posts, Grief and Gray Days, is now up on Mamalode! I’m so thrilled to be on their site, which is filled with thoughtful and lyrical musings about motherhood.

If you haven’t read the essay yet, please head over to check it out. I love that it’s getting a second life.

Julie, your comment resonates so deeply with me, I think we’re on the same wavelength here. I’m still mourning being done with babies, and I think it will take time for me to truly let it go. But like you said, I’m 40 and feel like I’m FINALLY coming into my own regarding writing, and soon will have even more time to devote to it. If I have another baby, that will not happen. Shouldn’t is how I feel, too. And yet. And yet.
